[LargeFormat] Shutter Release Cables

[Jim Hemenway]

Hi Lee:

Mine came out of a vertical process camera as well.  It's actually an 
Ultragon from the Eskofot machine.  I've also seen them marked Eskofot 
and Geragon.

It covers 8x10 fine, just a little too small for 11x14.  I've been doing 
11x14 mostly and the only picture that I've taken with the 210mm and 
subsequently scanned, is this one which is about 2 years old.

The chrome looks a heck of a lot better than the jpeg. I've learned a 
lot more about scanning in the last year or so... when I get a chance, 
I'm going to rescan this and several other 8x10 chromes.

Jim
